    I live in a very small town, and I have 1.5 Gbps internet, and haven’t met a single trumper. I know everyone in my neighborhood, so it’s not like I just haven’t met people. I’ve seen one very old dude at the grocery store wearing a MAGA hat, but everyone was looking at him weird. Granted, this is probably not the case in the mid-west and south, but many small towns are great in the PNW. We moved here because we were tired of how crowded Seattle and the surrounding cities have become, and because we got 10x the value for our money here.
